First glimpse of the Pantageous!

The Pantageous is so grandiose!

We rehearsed there for a bit today but rehearsal this morning got canceled since our group of young ladies learned the dances so quickly.

That led to a later morning workout (the day before it was at 5:50am) so I joined in. The YMCA across the street is beautiful. 15 of us went and then headed to Starbucks afterwards.

After showers, voice practice, and getting "all dolled up" we loaded a U-Haul full of our competition wardrobes and headed to the Pantageous.

There is no way not to feel like Miss America herself on that stage. We truly are "Dream Girls". Running through the opening-number in our dresses put most of us at ease and then the figuring out staging instilled a lot more confidence in all of us.

Now we have a short break in our rooms, then The Outback for dinner and a boat ride with just the contestants!

It's hard not to feel better this year since so much pressure is taken off by having learned the dances so quickly.

I need to do some reading and then get ready but thank you for reading and know I am doing my best and thoroughly enjoying my "Miss Washington week".

Blessings, Alex
